Pro tip: if you search for Pivko instead of Pitko you get all the beer fountains in Prague.

[@tonderosa90]

If you type shitko insted you will see all the scam comments in this post.

[@hopper131]

That's a LEGENDARY TIP.

And u will go workout if u search Fitko 😝

[@JP-rh7eb]

5:29 government offices and hospitals are actually my recommendation for free and very clean toilets here in Germany. If they have a front desk (more common since Covid), just politely ask where the visitor toilets (Besuchertoiletten) are. Otherwise they are usually not hard to find, somewhere on the ground floor near the entrance. Please shit responsibly and don’t leave a mess.

[@rk8872]

"Please shit responsibly" - love it

[@BadboyMax1986]

Or just go in a restaurant or hotel.

[@wesleyvelroij4837]

I actually find it a bit awkward, to go inside government buildings as a tourist. So I would never have gotten the idea at all 🤣

[@willsullivan7074]

Retired american ex-pat musician in Prague 8 years. Your videos are a wonderful help in adjusting to such a different, and much loved, country.

Will Sulivan... I just came home from our jam at the awesome Napa and watched this video. It's me, Marc :D

[@chiarab5802]

I just came back from a week in Prague and compared to Rome it was chilly! Especially inside the metro stations it was super windy and chilly!! What a beautiful city it is! I loved it so much, was my first time there but I would love to come back soon! Everything was super easy, public transportation were very efficient and on time! Walking in Prague was amazing and I loved every single corner of it!

Just visited Prague for the fist time, and I loved the tips you showed in your videos, especially about the hidden places. Keep up with the wonderful videos

[@DasSofaLP]

I just moved to Prague and I didn't know visiting Valdštejnská zahrada is only a 20min walk for me, I need to see these peacocks! 😄 thanks for the great videos, keep it up!

It's way more haha. From the metro stop Vysehrad to the actual vysehrad is already 10 minutes

@ 2:40 all train stations have platform numbers. It's to direct those that cant read or write, so a person can tell them , platform 1 or 2

[@bekind6858]

Very true about the map! My favorite place in Prague was the National Gallery in Veletržni Palace - there was like no one in the museum because it was maybe a 30-45 min walk from the center, but it was the best collection of the National Galleries - and free for people under 25!

[@marcelinaaugustyn2931]

perfect timing, I'm going to Prag tomorrow morning

Me too 😀👍🏻

[@prettymiffedbrit]

Vysehrad, as I think I commented on this channel multiple times is amazing, especially if you want to watch a summer thunder storm roll through!

visited Prague last month and your public transport tips helped us so much our hotel even had a card recommending your channel for authentic information

One of my favourite YT channel. Keep up the good work guys. Include more Honza in videos

[@czechdronepilot7201]

As a soon to be resident of Czech Republic, I have no shame in saying that I've seen every single Honest Guide video, including all those produced before the boys went their own way. I take great joy in helping newbie tourists on UK-CZ flights find their feet quickly, without being overcharged or disappointed, usually pointing them to a couple of the videos that they can watch in their own free time. And incredibly, I still have time to live haha.

[@Fabianwew]

The boys went their own way? Do you mean Hansa?

[@Darwinek]

@@Fabianwew Rostock?

[@Matej_Petr]

Here is a VERY useful tip -> If the trams have AC, dont open the windows! People tend to do that all the time, rendering the AC completely useless

[@Darwinek]

That's the logic here. 25°C inside, 33°C outside, yet some people believe opening the window and letting those 33 inside will somehow magically cool the interior.

[@yoshiyukiiwasa9447]

This tip couldn’t have come at a better place as I’m visiting the beautiful city of yours in a few weeks. Thank you as always!

[@bishoy33]

I am coming after 2 days to Prague, and you can't imagine how your videos made my life easier. Thank you very much 😁

[@ShesAaRebel]

The streetcars (aka trams) in my city used to also not have any AC. And then people on social media harassed the mayor to take a trip on one with his suit on in the summer. Now ALL public transportation has AC.

[@supertrampps]

I've been in Prague for 2 days and today, after seeing every single one of Honest Guide videos I've actually been able to see this men walking through the streets of Prague. I'm really lucky I guess ahahs

[@munkeypants1]

I’ve subscribed to your channel for 4-5 years and this is of my favourite videos so far. Can’t wait to return to beautiful Praha again. Hope Janek wasn’t too hot wearing jeans rather than shorts in the July heat 🥵

[@harness84_29]

Public transport and public toilets. Just amazing stuff

[@pro-on6wq]

1:50 I will be cycling through Czech Republic next week, so thank you very much for that tip!

[@siriusczech]

sounds like a supercool idea. Which route are you taking?

[@Darwinek]

Just don't cycle in Prague if you value your life.

Hi, me and three friends are going to the czech republic in august and i was wondering if you could make a video about prague's nightlife. Im orignally from the czech republic, but i've been living in the Netherlands since i was a kid thus i don't know the spots to go to. I want to show my friends the really nice nightlife of prague! Thank you in advance

[@Eden2002]

Before even watching the vid, love the content, keep it up

[@nimmen]

That hill you pointed at in the end. I walked there when I visited and took some amazing photos of the bridges and the city centre from there. there is also a beautiful park and much more to see. I had about 8 hours to spend during the day after I arrived early at the airport before continuing my travels to elsewhere in CZ. I did a route from the station to the museum - wenseclaus square - old town - charles bridge - castle (didn't go in there because there was a line) - some nice park - that hill (metronome) - back to the centre to find a bite to eat and then back to the station to continue my journey .

[@ercanyilmaz4506]

2:10 Now that's a duly executed formality if I ever saw one. If it happened in Warsaw you'd also have designated platform numbers alongside track numbers. And most of the time it'd be 'Track 1 Platform 2" and "Track 2 Platform 1".

5:59 that must be the only free toilet of Czech Republic, because everywhere we went they want money for public toilets. So I tend to hold it, until we find a restaurant for lunch or dinner etc. Than we use the toilet inside the restaurant, which is free to customers.

[@ameliecarre4783]

The Valdstejn gardens was probably my favorite place, I was going there ALL THE TIME, and my stepfather, just recently, asked me "what was this place with the big fishes that we went to when we visited you ?"

[@siriusczech]

2:33 Actualy, Janek, those track numbers ARE important, but just not in everyday ordinary life. Track numbers are used on every station on every rail in this country (yes, metro is a rail of sort) and they are used in rail controlling and usually train announcing, like "train in direction xxx will depart from (platform number three,) track 4 (the bracket part used of course only where platforms are). With metro/subway this announcement would be pointless, so it is not made UNLESS there is something happening. Most often I meet it at C line between Pražského povstání and Florenc (two stations where metro can actually switch tracks), because whenever an interruption (usually planned) is in place, they may - besides subtitude X-C buses - leave one of those tracks in operation so people WILL get to main station (Hlavní nádraží) via metro. At that moment the announcements ARE using track numbers in both Czech and English, because there is usually one metro train going back and forth on one track so you announce that "TRAIN ON TRACK TWO IS HEADING TOWARDS FLORENC STATION" and anyone can clearly see the number above them. So there is a use for those numbers - it is not in use so often and on some stations definitely more than on the others, but the metro must be prepared for unexpected situation and those numbers are there for exactly those reasons. And, yes, track numbers are used in one more cases - when manipulation trains come through, they might refer to "train in direction Letňany is not suited for passenger transport" or "train on track 1 is not suited for passenger transport". Been hearing the first one more in recent years, but occasionaly hearing the latter one, too.
